5K Reward...

Aren't gifts to yourself the bestest ever!?!? I think so, therefore I rewarded myself for participating in and completing my first 5K with this beauty! I'm so excited to run outside at lunch tomorrow!


This little reward on top of makin' Jillian my BIOTCH tonight has definitely improved my mood!

Eff This Day...

That's exactly how I feel today, just eff it... WARNING - this might be a bit rant-ish!

Today is the last day of my Advocare 10 Day Cleanse and well, my verdict... is eh.  I could take it or leave it.  By day 6 I was craving BEEF in a major way and broke down and had a little Mexi celebration with my little man after I ran my first 5K.  Needless to say, that little trip to El Pueblito opened back up the flood gates.  I felt like I had already failed and instead of saying "Oh, it was one day, everything in moderation..."  I have instead let my feelings of guilt, failure and embarassment (really it's not that bad, I like to be dramatic) continue to flood in to the next 4 days.

I haven't even weighed myself and I'm questioning even taking my post-measurements.  So what else did I do today... ?


Since I like to be dramatic positive, I'll end this mini-rant on a high note.  I completed D2L1 of JM's 30DS last night, even after playing Bunco at which I may or may not, no I did, take quite a few magarita shots!  That'll help the waistline, no?  FML!


Man, what a difference hair and make-up make for me too, huh?  Really FML!  Haha!

Panther Pursuit 5K...

I participated and completed my very first 5K this past Saturday back home in C-Town with one of my good girlfriends from high school, Jayci!

I'm hoping for a different mix of people though on my next 5K, since it was sponsored by the Community Collge most of the participants were 18-20 years old and athletes.  The entire baseball, track and field and men's basketball teams ran...yeah, not fun!  Ha!  But I stuck to my pace and was determined not to walk one single step and I DIDN'T!  Go me!  Jayci stuck with me the entire way, even as the girls in her running group past us on the second half when we were still a good 1/4 mile from the halfway point, she is such a good friend!  I even told her to go at one point, but she said no!

Here are some pictures to document the day!

After the race Jack and I went downtown and enjoyed the Artist Alley festivities and watched the parade!  It was a great day indeed!
 
My next race/run (because I don't really consider them races - well I'm not racing anyway) is in November - Turkey Trot here I come!

31 Days of Jillian Challenge...

Mama L's Fit Camp has posed an October challenge... 31 Days of Jillian!  I already have Jillian's 30 Day Shred and I'm planning on starting that tonight.  You know what's perfect?  Since the DVD is 30 days long, but October has 31 days - this means I can eat all the chocolate goodness that IS Halloween!


I did attempted the 30DS before my wedding back in 2008 and I reallly did think it toned, but I didn't see the weight loss that all workout DVDs promise.  However, I'm not sure I ever made it past the 2nd level, haha!  So I'm determined to do the damn thing this time around!

Join me, won't you?
